Membership fees slashed!

Filed: Wednesday, 5th July 2017By: Staff Writer

Last night's AGM resulted in some good news for our players, after it was agreed to cut signing on fees to just £75 per year!

As a result of astute fiscal management by the Club's new Treasurer, Mr Brian Chester, during the 2016/17 campaign, the Committee were able to recommend and approve a reduction - from £95 to £75 - to membership fees for the forthcoming 2017/18 season.

Although our previous annual fee was already one of the lowest in the Castle Point area, the new signing on fee represents even better value for money - especially as it was also agreed to freeze match day subs fees at last season's costs (£3/£4 per match).

All of which means that our Under Sevens and Under Eights teams, for example, will pay no more than £125* for an entire year's football - around £2.50 per week - bringing football back into the range of affordability for all.

For this players receive training with our FA qualified coaches on Saturday mornings (a 90-minute session at our Thundersley Common home ground) and a minimum of one competitive match every fortnight on a Sunday morning.

Additionally, the Club will continue to provide all players with the necessary match day kit, comprising of shirt, shorts and socks at no further cost. Sponsors, if available, may provide additional training kit free of charge.

* Figure based on one player's annual signing on fee and match day subs for 16 league matches. Other matches may also be arranged during non-league weekends.
